Working together on enhancing ELT capacity in Indonesia…

The British Council Indonesia and the UK Department for International Trade (DIT) are organising 3 English language teaching (ELT) themed events over 3 days, as part of the drive to support new UK-ID ELT partnerships.

It is focused on innovation, best practices and enhancing the quality of English language teacher training, teaching, and learning.

Day 1: Official launch of UK-ID digital innovation grants to support teacher professional development (TPD) in schools and Higher Education Institutions

Following the launch, the British Council will be inviting grants applications for UK-ID innovative and collaborative approaches to support English teacher professional development in schools and Higher Education.

Grant categories will include the following areas:

• TPD resources to support pre-service and in-service school teachers – for example, open online courses

Full details about the British Council UK-ID digital innovation grants will be published on the British Council Indonesia website on Monday 27 September.
